Welcome to Lumber Jocks! This is a great place to get – or give – advice about woodworking on the forums and the project posts are a wonderful source of new ideas. I love this site, I hope you will enjoy it too.

thanks to all for the great welcome. Since I wrote originally I went out to Rockler and bought their pen starter kit, and a wood turning DVD. cant wait to get my new lathe… this just looks like too much fun. anyway, I will certainly be around asking questions and will post my work. thanks again!
